Passive aggressive

My step daughter is super passive aggressive. She acts innocent and denies doing anything wrong. Anytime that something bothers me, she will make that topic something to talk endlessly about how wonderful she thinks it is. It's so annoying, usually I just ignore her and roll my eyes. Of course after 20 minutes of hearing how happy she is, she tells me I'm too picky, or I never like what everyone else loves. If it's something that I love she will do her best to cause some kind of issue with it. In January she pushed me too far.

Relief

After sending my step daughter back to her mom to live, I have felt so relieved. I don't have to hide in my room anymore. I can enjoy my whole house without feeling abused, disrespected, and depressed anymore. My husband might be feeling sad, disappointed, hurt and have the empty nest syndrome and i am sorry for that and wish it could have been different. I feel a little confused about how peaceful and light as if a burden of stress the size of a Boulder has been lifted instead of being sad and missing the kid. But it is what it is. And I'm glad I don't have to live through it anymore

I'm new to this site. I know that the step parenting issues I have been going through are experienced by other people and I  am not alone. I have been googling it. Haha but I am alone. I have no one to talk to about things and I am now thinking wouldn't it be great if we made a book. Step parents contributing to it so that it would be assesible to other step parents who feel alone and confirm to them that they are not crazy. It is hard.
